Prabhupāda: No, how it breaks? They keep it for years, and you broke them? How you...? How you broke? Automatically?
Jayapatāka: No, because there was no place to store them, by moving them and moving them from different rooms then they gradually broke.
Prabhupāda: So there are so many rooms. You could not make any store?
Jayapatāka: First they were in the building to here. When they moved it then many became damaged. And somebody came in and vandaled them.
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Jayapatāka: Somebody came in and destroyed them.
Prabhupāda: Somebody came in?
Jayapatāka: Vandalized.Jayapatāka: They're putting a very nice stone. Rose quartz.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Is that.... The stones and everything cost fifteen rupees?
Jayapatāka: Well...
Prabhupāda: [break] Vandalism, no? Then what is to be done? [break] ...big doors, why it is open? This should be open when car is going. Otherwise not.
Jayapatāka: (Bengali)
Prabhupāda: Huh?
Jayapatāka: I think he opened it for Your Divine Grace to go.
Prabhupāda: No, close it. Simply...Jayapatāka: This wall was.... We only got the money for building all this a month and a half ago. Then this wall is just plastered. It takes two months to dry the wall. If you paint before two months, then the paint will come off. Therefore, we're giving this two months. We made the arch and now we're going to start the painting. [break] ...immediately paint it right after plastering and the paint doesn't stick. We thought that by doing this the wall would be so beautiful and impressive that the pictures will be more accented.
Prabhupāda: Do it. [break] ...foolish person in the whole world. You allow vandals to come and break your dolls. [break] ...give them protection, even to the dolls. [break] ...made with so much labor and you allowed the vandals to come in?Prabhupāda: Why you should waste? Wasting is not allowed. [break] ...our car?
Kīrtanānanda: No, it belonged to the man who formerly owned the property.
Prabhupāda: So how it is broken?
Kīrtanānanda: Some vandals. There's no one living here, he just left it. (in car:) This farm is for sale now.
Prabhupāda: There is no limit of purchasing?Correspondence
